Another one of these amazing simple songs that are Josh's magic. I use a pretty standard
Travis with a few hammer-ons here and there.
Capo: 4th fret
CYou got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists
They Ckeep a candle burning on the corner you kissed.
OneFmaj7 day I might die, until then there's too much to Cdo
But GI'll keep a G7bonfire for Cyou.
I've Cseen the pretty boys that you're keeping around
I Cknow how it goes, I've got a girl in town.
And she Fmaj7likes me enough to do what I like to Cdo.
But, GI'll keep a G7bonfire for Cyou.
Let the Emother lovers talk about who carries the torch
Let them Ftalk about the beauty that they carry it for C
Let the Emother lovers talk about who got what
And whoF got burned and who got cut C
I'll Cbe in the orchard when you get tired
CDay after day of the shouts from the choir
Fmaj7Eating the apples and eating the peaches, too
And Gwaiting by my G7bonfire for Cyou.
In the Cdark anybody will do for love
But you'reC the only one I want when the sun comes up
No Fmaj7burning ball of fire set in the sky willC do
NeGxt to my boG7nfire for you. C
Let theEm other lovers talk about who carries the torch
Let themF talk about the beauty that they carry it for
Let the Emother lovers talk about who got what
And Fwho got burned and who got cut
I Cneed a little motion, need a little relief
I geCt a little lonely at the end of the week
And I Fmaj7want it so bad and if you want it so bad,C too
I'll be oGver here with my bG7onfire for Cyou.
You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists
They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed.
One day I might die, until then there's too much to do
But I'll keep a bonfire for you.
